"Just submit a task, and Jules takes care of the rest — fixing bugs, making updates. It integrates with GitHub and works on its own," Tulsee Doshi, the senior director and product lead for Gemini Models, said at Google I/O 2025. "Jules can tackle complex tasks in large codebases that used to take hours, like updating an older version of Node.js. It can plan the steps, modify files, and more in minutes."
According to a Google blog post, Jules is an "asynchronous, agentic coding assistant that integrates directly with your existing repositories. It clones your codebase into a secure Google Cloud virtual machine (VM), understands the full context of your project, and performs tasks."
To try Jules out for yourself, you can sign up at jules.google. Click "Try Jules" in the top right corner to create your own account.
Google isn't the first tech giant to use AI to create a coding tool. Coding is one of the more impressive capabilities of AI tools so far, as seen from coding tools from the likes of Anthropic.

Gemini now lets you schedule tasks ahead of time

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini now lets you automate routine tasks with its new scheduled actions feature. You can use it to schedule prompts to perform a task at a specific time, day, date, or after an event. The feature is available in the Gemini app for users with a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription and qualifying Google Workspace business and education plans. Google has started rolling out Gemini's scheduled actions feature, which we spotted in a teardown earlier this year. As highlighted in the code strings, the feature allows users to automate routine tasks, similar to the scheduled tasks feature already available in ChatGPT. The scheduled actions feature will be available in the Gemini app starting today. Google says it will let users schedule prompts to perform tasks at a later date, time, or after an event. Users can utilize the feature to automate tasks like getting a summary of their calendar and unread emails every morning, generating five ideas for their blog every Monday, or staying updated on their favorite sports team. In addition to being useful for routine tasks, Gemini's scheduled actions will also come in handy for one-off tasks like getting a summary of an award show the day after it happens. Google adds that Gemini will allow users to transform prompts they're already using into recurring actions or manage existing actions within the new scheduled actions page in settings. Sadly, the scheduled actions feature isn't available for all Gemini users. It is limited to users with a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription and qualifying Google Workspace business and education plans. Google may eventually make the feature available on Gemini's free tier, but there's no official confirmation yet. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Android Circuit: OnePlus Pad 3 Revealed, e/OS/3 Updated, Android's Photoshop Mobile Arrives

2024's Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Taking a look back at this week's news and headlines across the Android world, including Galaxy Z Fold 7 details, Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro release dates, Phtoshop Mobile released, parental controls for e/OS/, OnePlus Pad 3 revealed, Nothing Phone (3) launch date, Google Photos' AI search paused, and Android 17 dates. Android Circuit is here to remind you of a few of the many discussions around Android in the last seven days. You can also read my weekly digest of Apple news here on Forbes. Samsung's summer Galaxy Unpacked event has been all about its foldable phones for many a year. 2025 will be no different, with the presumptively named Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 expected. Samsung is being coy about what exactly is being launched, but the company started the teaser trailers this week. A Fold form factor is definitely on its way, but perhaps with an exciting change: "The Fold 7 isn't directly named, but the blacked out teaser image clearly shows a Galaxy Fold silhouette. Digital Trends also received a press image with the file name 'Galaxy-Z-Fold7-Z-Flip7-Pre-tease-Bartype_1920x1080.gif.' As I say, the existence of the Fold 7 isn't a surprise, but the early teaser and the heavy hint of a bigger display is. It's worth saying that the press images I received had no revealing file names." (Forbes). Also due for a summer release is Google's flagship Pixel smartphones. The Pixel 10 family may get an early preview with some influencers, but for the rest of the world, the schedule is almost identical to last year: "Initial reports suggested an event on Aug 13, but signs now point to a Made By Google event one week later… The event will now take place on Wednesday, Aug 20, with the announced hardware going on retail sale on Thursday, Aug 28. While plans may change, Google is expected to announce four new handsets." (Forbes). Adobe's Photoshop Mobile is now available for Android devices. Bringing much of the functionality of the desk-bound original (including layering, masking and the popular Firefly-powered Generative Fill) . The Photoshop Mobile app is free to download, but some advanced features require a subscription through Adobe's Creative Cloud: "The idea behind Photoshop Mobile, seen in the months it's been on the iPhone, is that it enables open-ended creativity, so that you can start Photoshopping wherever inspiration strikes – no more having a blinding flash of creativity on the subway, say, and being unable to do anything about it until you can get to your computer." (Forbes). Built on he Android Open Source Project, and with a focus on privacy, the third version of popular alternative e/OS/ was released this week with several new features. One of the more interesting ones, parental protection, sits nicely alongside the privacy features: "For those with kids in the house, /e/OS 3.0 introduces refined parental controls that give guardians more control over app installations and screen time. Plus, apps rated as "PG" will now require a security code to install, giving guardians an extra layer of control over what their children can access. The security code can also be enabled for other applications on a device." (Its Foss News). While it was late to the Android tablet game, OnePlus has established itself as one of the leading innovators in the space. The latest iteration is the OnePlus Pad 3, and it leans heavily into the multimedia experience: "Measuring less than six millimeters thin, OnePlus Pad 3 has been developed with an all metal unibody design that ensures its super strong and bend resistant. It also features eight symmetrically placed speakers - four woofers and four tweeters - to give a truly immersive audio experience, while the newly redesigned rear camera, which has been moved from a central position to the corner, gives the OnePlus Pad 3 a fresh look for 2025. " ( Under the tagline 'Come to Play', Nothing Tech has confirmed the launch date for its next flagship smartphone. The Nothing Phone (3) actually launches after the Nothing Phone (3a) which arrived in march this year. There's no hints from the company on the phone' tandout features, but CEO Carl Pei has confirmed that Nothing's first Over-The_ear headphones will launch at the same event: "London-based technology company Nothing has announced today that it will unveil its highly anticipated true flagship smartphone, Phone (3), on 1 July at 18:00 BST. " ( Google is pausing one of it current AI features due to poor user experiences. No doubt 'Ask Photos' will return, but for now the enhanced search function has been switched off. "Google is pausing the rollout of its AI-powered 'Ask Photos' feature within Google Photos, which has been slowly expanding since last fall. 'Ask Photos isn't where it needs to be,' wrote Jamie Aspinall, a product manager for Google Photos, in a post on X responding to criticism, citing three factors: latency, quality, and user experience." (The Verge). Android 16 is arriving earlier than expected this year, with a rollout before the end of June expected. That tweak to the schedule looks to be a success as the early plans for Android 17 line up: "You won't have to wait that long to try out Android 17, though. With Android 16, Google released the first Developer Preview in November. If the company sticks to this release plan, we expect the first Android 17 Developer Preview builds to be released in November 2025." (Android Authority).

YouTube overtakes streaming rivals as the go-to for TV and movies

Gone are the days when YouTube was just for catching up on vlogs or diving into late-night rabbit holes. Today, the platform is staking its claim in TV and film. Why you're catching the 'ick' so easily, according to science Why AI Is Making 1:1 Meetings Irrelevant Where are the wildfires in Canada? Maps pinpoint the location of fires and air-quality threats from smoke According to a new survey conducted by Looper Insights between April 16 and 25, 66% of consumers discover TV or film content via YouTube. For 61%, it's already part of their regular streaming habits, and for 34%, it's a main source for TV and film content, as reported by Media Play News. This shift isn't surprising. In April, the Google-owned platform captured a record 12.4% share of all TV viewing. And it's not just rival streamers who should be concerned. For three consecutive months, YouTube has ranked as the No. 1 distributor of television content, according to Nielsen. Media executives are taking notice. Among the 65 surveyed, 84% view YouTube as a viable platform for launching long-form content, and 30% are actively considering it for upcoming releases. In Q1 2025, more Americans watched YouTube on TV screens than on mobile devices—a first. Meeting audiences in the living room, media companies have begun uploading premium content directly to the platform. Earlier this year, Warner Bros. quietly released more than 30 full-length films on YouTube, free to watch. Yet as YouTube continues its rise, creators face critical decisions. Some, like Ms Rachel, have signed licensing deals with Netflix. MrBeast (aka Jimmy Donaldson), YouTube's most-subscribed creator, brought Beast Games to the small screen via Prime Video. Still, many fans would rather their favorite YouTubers stay where they started. More than half (54%) of respondents said YouTubers feel more authentic and better suited to the platform that launched their careers. Meanwhile, nearly three-quarters (74%) of executives noted that creator-led shows often underperform on platforms like Netflix and Prime, citing poor audience migration and an overreliance on follower counts. The good news: The YouTube takeover is already in full swing—so creators may not need to go anywhere at all. This post originally appeared at to get the Fast Company newsletter:
